Lamy Safari Fountain Pen Nib Size Comparison

So, you've decided to start your adventure in the wonderful world of fountain pens. Kudos to you and welcome aboard! The Lamy Safari is one of the top choices for starter fountain pens for their durability, writing quality, and affordable price. To help you select your ideal Lamy nib size, we compare the common LZ50 steel nib sizes in the video below.

Lamy Safari Nib Sizes

Here are some general comments regarding fountain pen nib sizing how Lamy Safari nib size comparison corresponds to other well-known brands. Much like clothes and shoes with arbitrary letter sizing (S, M, L, XL), nib sizes have a similar sizing designation (EF, F, M, and B). Since there isn't any international standard for what each of those sizes represent, we make relative comparisons. For example, pen enthusiasts know that Western (German and Italian) nib sizes are about a size thicker than Eastern (Japanese) nib sizes. Lamy Safari nib size comparison shows that Lamy does fall into the category as a Western nib, writing a size thicker than most Pilot, Sailor, or Platinum pens. The line weight of a Lamy nib is also thicker than many European brands. So, a Lamy EF will write more like a Jowo/Bock F nib.

Fun fact: most Europeans will refer to the nib sizes by their letter abbreviation. They would say, "I prefer writing with a B nib" instead of, "I prefer writing with a broad nib."

Extra Fine (EF)

The Lamy extra fine provides the thinnest line that works the best on various types of paper. Prefer writing small, slow, and neat? An extra fine is an ideal nib size for you. Lefties: if dry time is a concern, an extra-fine line will dry quickest, especially if paired with a fast-drying ink.

The next size up provides a slightly thicker line with an incrementally higher degree of smoothness and flow. Fine is a best seller for its general purpose writing ability.

At this point size, we begin to see more depth of the ink color and a greater feeling of smoothness. Keep in mind the type of paper you write on when choosing this nib size and up. If you don't have access to premium, fountain pen-friendly paper, then you either need to select a smaller nib size or upgrade your notebooks and stationery. For this comparison, we selected a Rhodia dot grid pad with 80gsm paper.

The Lamy broad nib is the smoothest round nib of this set, providing an ample flow and thick line. This nib size is best suited for large and fast handwriting styles.

Calligraphy (1.1mm, 1.5mm, and 1.9mm)

Lamy offers its stub calligraphy nib in a 1.1mm, 1.5mm, and 1.9mm size. Instead of a rounded ball tip, the calligraphy nib has a flat, broad edge for drawing thick downstrokes and thin horizontal strokes. This line variation adds instant flair to everyday handwriting.

While I wouldn't recommend the calligraphy stub nibs for fountain pen newbs, if you're going to learn calligraphy styles like italic, blackletter, roman and unical, then go for it.

Why pick one when you can have them all? Lamy LZ50 nibs are interchangeable on Safari , AL-Star , Studio , Logo , Joy , Scala , Nexx , and CP1 . All you have to do is get a little tape. Stick the tape on the base of the metal nib, then slide it out with your thumb. Slide the new nib straight in over the rails of the feed. You're good to go. Just make sure the fountain pen is cleaned out before swapping nibs to avoid inky messes.

Lamy LZ50 stainless steel nibs can be purchased separately in both the silver and black-plated styles. The difference is only in appearance. The black nibs match nicer with the black trim Safari pens.

This year, we're expecting several exciting and colorful Lamy pens, including a set of pastel Safari pens. Let us know in the comments which Lamy you're looking forward to this year and which nib size or sizes you'll be getting.

LAMY Calligraphy Pen Nib - 1.1 mm

• 1.1 mm Italic
• 1.5 mm Italic
• 1.9 mm Italic
• Oblique Medium
• Oblique Broad
• Due to manufacturing variances, the replacement nib is not guaranteed to fit perfectly on your LAMY fountain pen. It is not uncommon for replacement nibs to fit more loosely than the original nib. As long as the nib stays on the feed and does not slide off on its own, in most cases it will work properly.
• The video features a 1.5 mm LAMY Calligraphy Pen Nib.

Lamy nibs comparison: ef vs 1.1mm, 1.5mm, 1.9mm italics.

21 comments:

Thanks for the comparison!  I would venture to say that the wide Lamys are geared to those of us who are fond of the Rotring Art Pens (especially the rare and coveted 2.7).  The neat thing is that all those nibs work on both the long handled Joy and traditional size Safari/AlStar.  My significant other really only uses italic nibs and swears by them. One thing I have noticed is that there are a couple of vendors who will sell the Lamy with whichever nib the customer desires.  You don't have to buy a stock nib and the specialty one independently.  I will happily give my dollars to the one stop shopping when possible :) Happy writing everyone!

I was looking for a comparison like this because I got a Calligraphy set from Sheaffer and really liked the italic nibs, however the pens are not very comfortable to use and the cap does not close hermetically, making the ink dry. So I was thinking about getting a Lamy Vista with an itallic nib. I think it will be a 1.1 nib and I will get it from gouletpens. Great review!!!

Thank you for sharing this. I have only tried the 1.1mm Lamy italic nib, and it was a customers that I was re-grinding to a smaller size. I thought it was a pretty decent italic nib. My only 3 critiques for it were: 1) It's not a straight up italic, it's a cursive italic. I personally would appreciate it if companies would finally catch on to the naming systems used by FP people. It is an italic, but what kind? Stub, crisp, cursive? It's nice to know. :) 2) They seem to write smaller than the tipping is.  Maybe it was the one that I tested, but the nib said 1.1mm, when it actually wrote about .8mm or .9mm. Not a huge deal... 3)The lack of tipping. I do wish they had some tipping, for the sake of wear/tear and time. But then, they're only about $15.00 a piece, so who cares! These are really minor gripes any way. I need to get myself a Lamy al-star (I love the brown one) someday, and try out the 1.9mm.

thanks for the review! i have found that Lamy nibs are rather inconsistent, with no EF (my usual choice)  same as the other. I wish they would fix this.

That may well be. My EF doesn't feel as fine as I would have expected.

I've got the 1.5mm nib and it is scratchy, it catches fibers in the tines and makes the ink looking like its feathering when its not. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

All my Lamy italic nibs are very smooth. It sounds like you got a bad one. I'm not nib expert but I've picked up a few things from here and there. I would suggest looking at the nib with a loupe. Try to determine if the tines are aligned properly, if the gap between them isn't too narrow or too wide and whether the tip is smooth or not. Also, try to drag a very thin film between the tines, just to make sure nothing is stuck between them. You might have paper fibers in there and not even know it. By "thin film" I mean something like 35mm film (which might still be a bit thick), or something even thinner. I use a feeler gauge http://www.amazon.com/25025-26-Blade-Master-Feeler-Gauge/dp/B000BYGIR4/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1323228553&sr=1-1 which is cheap and great for this sort of thing.

I am not an expert at pretty much anything, but I heard the increase In looking better is a mix of things. The line variation increases differences between similar letters, and the ending of letters are more visible.

The 1.1mm nib is a good every day writer. Just be sure to use a drier ink (or one with irongall-content) or it will look like a simple broad line. Nearly all of my Lamy pens are equipped with der italic nibs (that said, there cheap ... 2,50 Euro per nib).

Hmm, they must be cheaper in Europe then. Here in the US you can't find them for less than $10. I actually ordered mine from the UK because they were cheaper, even after adding shipping.

Thanks for the comparison and the video.   It was the 1.1 italic nib that got me back into the Safaris (after a baaaaad experience years ago with an M nib and pen that never wrote smooth, no matter what!)

The nib makes a huge difference. I had issues with my EF initially but then it wrote very smoothly after I tweaked it a little. I use the 1.5mm now because it uses more ink and I can go quicker through my samples :)

Hello, please let me know if it is possible to remove the feed of a Lamy Joy? I pulled it but it didn't come out.

Hi sorry but I don't have experience with the Lamy Joy. However, since it has the same nib as the Safari/Vista/AL-Star I assume the nib is also the same, meaning that it can be pulled out if appropriate force is used. I suggest holding it with a piece of rubber, like an elastic band.

I recently caught a video of someone removing their nibs with the top of their caps. I believe Lamy designed the "X" groove on the top specifically to anchor the nibs (in particular the non-italic nibs with the rounded tips: EF, F, M, B). Cannot remember the link but I think it was probably on YouTube.

Hmm that's intriguing. Would be nice if you could find that link. I was wondering what the X is for.

I'm sorry for the late reply -- here is a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnyI_o0ly-o I stand corrected; the cap itself was used and not the X groove, as I took a closer look at the video once more and realized my mis-info above. The trick is to hold the cap down flush and firm. The X simply differentiates the fountain pen from their rollerballs, etc. Hope this helps.

Thanks for this. I remove my nibs with my fingers, they loosen up after changing them a couple of times.

One way to upgrade those Sheaffer calligraphy pens is to empty the cartridges of the lousy ink they come with and use a syringe to fill them with something better, or get a Sheaffer converter. I put Noodler's HOD into my 3 ancient Sheaffers (F, M & B) and got better flow, better starting and better lines. I still wonder if Lamy Calli nibs or Goulet Pens Calli nibs would be better, smoother than these Sheaffers. I just tried making some labels with the Broad Sheaffer and it was scratching, more like stumbling, on the downward right-curving strokes

I'm curious about Goulet nibs too.

Lamy pens are great, I love their designs but i've never really paid much attention to the nib size or how that affects the writing. I just get standard ones because I don't use them for calligraphy or any fancy writing, just general writing.

Lamy Safari With A 1.1Mm Italic Nib - Frustrated!

• lamy safari

By shortwizard August 24, 2013 in Lamy

Recommended Posts

shortwizard

This is my first Lamy italic nib and I must be doing something wrong. I received a letter from a pen pal with writing samples of different pens and this was the one of a Lamy Safari with the 1.1 italic nib.

So, I ordered a new Safari and a 1.1 italic nib, but this is what my attempts look like. I actually used the back of the letter (I apologize if you are the pen pal and are reading this :-) ) so it would be on the same paper - apples to apples, if you will. It's not even close! It doesn't matter which angle I hold the pen, I can't get the same result. The stroke is much wider than I expected and I am rather disappointed. Is it me or is it the nib, or a combination of both?

The ratio of thick to thin stroke widths in your green and turquoise samples is much more than you'd get from a 1.1. Have you checked the marking on the nib and made sure they haven't sent you a 1.5 or 1.9 by mistake?

I like the green ink, by the way. What is it?

The 'trick' is the angle of the nib to paper and then holding the angle throughout the writing process. An angle of about 45 degrees will give the 'thick and thin' variation.

Sorry I don't have access to a scanner today to post example...but you can find many examples and instructional videos online...try looking for "cursive italic' calligraphy as just one example!

Don't give up!

I can't really describe how I am holding the pen. I'm not rotating the nib, I don't think, so it's pretty much "straight on," but the angle between the paper and the nib probably is about 45º. Maybe in my next letter I'll include a sheet with alternating lines full of 1.1 Safari script, leaving you space to write in between. I'm by no means an italic expert or anything (far from it, in fact!); this is just the way I've found it comfortable to write.

I agree please check the nib marking to make sure it is a 1.1

Please do not press the nib to the paper to hard, let the nib do the work, let the weight of pen be yor pressure, let your hand/forearm move the pen.

Agree with the need fo maintain the appropriate angle nib to paper consistently during writing as noted above.

Don't write too slowly

Make sure you do not have a blob of ink in the feed from just filling the pen

If above does not work it may not be you. Consider talking to your vendor for an exchange

I have several Lamy Safara calligraphy nibs including the Lamy Joy Calligraphy set. It is what got me started with improving my handwriting

By the way John Neal Booksellers here in North Carolina is a nice resource vendor.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you do.

As one of the posters said, cant the nib 45 degrees and you get the script you are looking for.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

I logged on and saw the title of this post in the right sidebar and thought, "Oh, I have one of those!" and so clicked on it and passed a baffled few seconds before I went, "Hey, that's my handwriting!"   I can't really describe how I am holding the pen.

It's all your fault! :-) Just kidding. I have a letter going in the mail to you on Monday, with some samples of the 1.1 nib. It's really broad!

Thanks for the tips, and I have tried all of them, but I get the same results. I have even tried different papers - no change. I may ask them if I can exchange it for another EF nib and save myself the frustration.

Where in NC is John Neal Booksellers? Do they have a storefront or are they only online?

Yes, the nib is marked 1.1, clear as day.

Just an example to make sure you get the 45 degrees angle idea.

It was not written with a 1.1 Lamy because I did not have my Lamy inked at the time. The Safari has got a bit thinner thick stroke and a bit heavier thin stroke, but it is not bad. Thick and thin is quite noticeable.

Going by that image, I was most likely holding the pen at 90º when I wrote the lines pictured above. That's usually how I write with that pen, though I do rotate it sometimes.

I'm wondering if this isn't another case of variability in Lamy nib sizes.

It hardly looks like a italic nib writing, my guess is you are writing way slow, try writing faster without worrying the angle, italic nib will correct your angle anyway after couple of lines in most cases. Smoothest angle is the correct angle, thats all. (Considering you have no tine aligment problems of course)

One boring blue , one boring black 1mm thickness at most. . ..

Then there are Fountain Pens with gorgeous permanent inks. .

All factors involved when writing with an italic nib can change the outcome.

Ink can make a big difference a very wet ink can cause everything to run together and eliminate the look of variation.

Angle, technique, speed all affect how a nib like this writes. Sometimes lots of practice is needed.

Also size of writing, you may have to write bigger to be able to get the effect you seek.

Bad paper / wet ink both affect how much variation you see in the line.

Since you are trying the same nib from the same company this would not necessarily apply but italic nibs can be Stubs, Cursive Italic and Crisp Italic. Each of these gives different levels of line variation for the same size nib. (ie 1.1mm)

In answer to your question above.

John Neal Booksellers is in Greensboro North Carolina

They are a web online store but do allow visitors

They carry calligraphy pens, bookbinding equipment, paper, etc. Check out their website.

Franklin Christoph fountain pens is in Raleigh North Carolina. They carry a number of pens of their design with choice of stub, italic, etc. 1.1 stub in high performance steel is very nice. I have this in their Stabilis 66 model deskpen. Check out their website. They provide very good service.

Also before giving up on the really neat experience of italic writing consider a 1.1 stub nib, a little less line variation but easier to handle. Hisnibs.com online sells Monteverde and Conklins with stubs and checks out the pen to make sure it writes well out of the box. Have Conklin Crescent filler with stub, very smooth.

I am not affiliated with any of the above.

Hopes this helps. Let us know how you do.

Thanks for the help and suggestions, everyone. I think it may be a defective nib so I have written to the company to see if they will exchange it. I hope the replacement will be less frustrating.

Please, visit my website at http://www.acousticpens.com/

I've contacted the company where it was purchased and they are graciously sending me a new nib, which should be here this weekend.

I don't understand, in your post you said the inkline is wider than you expected.

Is it that your 1.1 nib writes wider than the 1.1 nib of the letter that was sent to you?

I am still a newbie to italic nibs, but here are a few variables to think about.

• If your pen writes wetter than the person that wrote to you, the ink like will be wider. Wet can be due to the pen and/or the ink. A wet pen + a wet ink and you have a real WET writer.
• Writing speed. If you write slow, a wet ink line will get wider. I had that trouble when I first used a 1.0mm italic tip, and had to writer faster to see the difference between the vertical and horizontal lines.
• if your nib is slightly wider, the ink line will be wider. I have not measured italic nibs, but with standard nibs, I found a pretty wide variance in the width of the tips. I have measured a wide F tip that was wider than a narrow M tip. So the nib of the original writer could be closer to 0.9mm and yours could be 1.3mm (1.1 +/- 0.2mm). Without measuring the nibs with a caliper, you can't determine this.
• This could also be a case of a miss-marked nib. As was said, you could have a 1.9 nib but it is labeled 1.1.

Don't give up on the italic nib. I found that italics are fun to write with. I like how the ink line looks different without having to use a flex pen.

Another variable not mentioned is that paper surface is slightly different on each side of a sheet. One side is typically smoother than the other - sometimes that can mean one side is more absorbent.

History of Maykop

Foundation of maykop.

The history of Maykop goes back to antiquity. In the 7th-12th centuries AD, the Great Silk Road passed through the territory of Maykop and Adygea. Adyghe, as a separate ethnic group, were first mentioned in the 12th century. In 1557, after the conclusion of the marriage alliance between Ivan the Terrible and the daughter of the Kabardian prince, the Adyghe tribes officially became part of Russia.

The first mention of the Adyghe toponym “Maykop” and related “Maykop heights”,”Maykop gorge”, etc. in Russian documents dates back to 1810. In January - February 1810, a detachment under the command of General of Infantry S.A. Bulgakov made an expedition to these lands. The second time the toponym Maykop was mentioned in documents 15 years later, in the summer of 1825, during an expedition of troops under the command of General A.A. Velyaminov. In the fall of 1825, by his order, a fort was erected on the bank of the Belaya River.

On May 25, 1857, on the site of the present Maykop, a Russian fortress was laid, surrounded by a high rampart and a moat. Until 1864, the year of the end of the Caucasian War, the fortress was an important strategic point during the conquest of Circassia. After the end of the Caucasian War, it gradually lost its military significance and the active development of industry began: pottery, butter, soap, and brick production.

In 1870, Maykop was given the status of a county town. In 1888, the Assumption Cathedral was built on the territory of the town. For a long time it occupied a central place in the Orthodox life of the local residents. Then, one after another, cultural and educational institutions began to appear.

More Historical Facts…

Maykop in the late 19th - 20th centuries

In 1897, Maykop gained world fame with the discovery of the famous burial mound “Oshad”, which was the burial of a tribal leader belonging to the archaeological culture of the second half of the third millennium BC. The objects found in the mound are among the most ancient cultural monuments of the Bronze Age.

At the end of the 19th century, there were about 5,500 houses in Maykop, including 121 stone buildings, five Orthodox churches, a synagogue, two pharmacies, several schools. Industrial production was represented by 112 enterprises including 50 cooperage and 8 pottery workshops, 13 brick factories, an iron foundry, 6 water mills. Agriculture also developed, primarily animal husbandry and tobacco growing. In 1897, the population of Maykop was about 34,300 people.

In 1909, oil fields were discovered southwest of Maykop. On December 12, 1910, the first train arrived from Belorechensk to Maykop. In 1911, the construction of the water supply was completed.

On July 27, 1922, Circassian (Adyghe) Autonomous Oblast was formed. In 1936, the city of Maykop became its administrative center. In 1938, pumping of Maykop oil began through the Grozny-Tuapse pipeline to the Tuapse port and to the oil refinery. In 1939, the population of Maykop was 55,871 people.

During the Second World War, Maykop was occupied by German troops from August 9, 1942 to January 29, 1943. In 1952, the Maykop hydroelectric power station was put into operation on the Belaya River. Today, it is the most powerful hydroelectric power plant in Adygea. In 1960, the development of the Maykop gas condensate field, located 15 kilometers from the city, began. In the 1960s, the number of city residents exceeded 100 thousand.

In 1989, the population of Maykop was about 148,600 people. In 1990, the Adyghe Regional Council of People’s Deputies made a decision to transform Adyghe Autonomous Oblast into the Republic of Adygea.

Maykop - Features

Maykop is located on the right bank of the Belaya River (a tributary of the Kuban River) at an altitude of 210-230 meters above sea level about 1,400 south of Moscow and 130 km southeast of Krasnodar. This city is one of the greenest in Russia - there are a lot of parks and green spaces. According to the 2010 census, Russians made up about 71% of the city’s population, the Adyghe people - 18%.

The current coat of arms of Maykop was adopted in 1972. It depicts gold figurines of bulls found during excavations of the Maykop mound in 1897. Today, they are kept in the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg.

This area is characterized by a temperate continental climate with mild winters, warm summer months and significant rainfall. The summer period lasts 180-198 days. The average temperature in January is minus 0.5 degrees Celsius, in July - plus 22.8 degrees Celsius.

The system of intercity bus transportation connects Maykop with Krasnodar, Sochi, Gelendzhik, Nalchik, Stavropol, Makhachkala, Rostov, Armavir, Belorechensk, Tuapse, Astrakhan, and other cities. Buses and trolleybuses are used for passenger transportation on intracity routes.

The main sectors of the Maykop industry are food, woodworking, pulp and paper, machine building. The tourism industry is actively developing, hiking, horse, and bicycle routes are being created that run through the territory of the Northwest Caucasus. In the village of Pobeda, on the southern outskirts of the city, there is a balneological institution. Mineral water from local springs is used for medical procedures.

Today, Maykop is, first of all, the main cultural center of Adygea. The city has a lot of preserved historical and architectural monuments. In addition, it is easy to get to a number of beautiful natural sights of the Caucasus from the capital of the Adygea Republic.

Republika Adygea: fotografije, potpune informacije, zanimljiva mjesta za turiste

Republika Adygea nalazi se u podnožju Sjevernog Kavkaza. Ova mala regija zauzima dio teritorija Krasnodarskog teritorija. Adygea je poznata po svojim prirodnim i duhovnim i povijesnim znamenitostima. Glavni grad regije, Maykop, poznat je po svojoj kulturnoj raznolikosti i nevjerojatnoj povijesti. Jedna od podcijenjenih regija Rusije, Republika Adygea, bit će detaljno opisana u našem materijalu.

Glavna stvar u regiji

Enklava je koncept primjenjiv na Republiku Adygeu. Regija Krasnodar okružuje Maikop sa svih strana i susjednih područja. Područje republike dio je južnog saveznog okruga i dio je sjevernog Kavkaza.

Republika Adygea osnovana je 1922. godine. Tada je dobila status autonomne regije na području odjela Jekaterinodar i Maykop. Godine 1928. regija je dobila status autonomne regije, a 1991. godine postaje republika.

10 područja Republike Adygea uključuju gradove, gradove i aule. U regiji postoje dvije prijestolnice: Maykop i Adygeysk. U isto vrijeme, Maykop se smatra glavnim gradom republike.

Također u Adygei ima osam okruga:

• selo Maykop;
• Koshekhablsky;
• Shovgenovsky;
• Takhtamukaysky;
• Teuchezhsky;
• Crvena garda

U područjima Republike Adygea dominira rusko stanovništvo. Samo u Adygeisk, Teuchezhsky i Shovgenovsky okrugu Čerkezi više od drugih nacionalnosti.

U republici postoje dva službena jezika: ruski i adigijski. Armenski, Ukrajinski i Kurdski jezici. Stanovništvo u regiji ne doseže čak ni pola milijuna ljudi. 63% Rusa ovdje, 25% Adygei, 4% i 2% Armenaca i Ukrajinaca. Područje Adygea je jedno od najmanjih u zemlji: samo 7 tisuća km 2 . Po području, republika se nalazi na 81. mjestu od 85 regija u zemlji.

Klima u Adygei je dovoljno topla. U zimskim mjesecima, temperature rijetko padaju ispod -2 ° C, a ljeti je prosjek +28 ° C. Zbog tople klime, Republika je bogata prirodnim resursima. Dobiveni su prirodni plin, glina, šljunak, pijesak, vapnenac i drugi minerali. Gotovo polovicu teritorija zauzimaju listopadne šume.

Glavni grad Adygea

Dolina stabala jabuka - tako je iz Adige prevedena riječ "Myekuape". Ovo ime je u potpunosti opravdano. To je vrlo topao, sunčan grad s nevjerojatnom prirodom i mnogim zanimljivim mjestima.

Maykop nije jako velik po površini. Obuhvaća samo 58 km 2 . U gradu živi 143 tisuće ljudi. Gustoća u Maykopu je vrlo visoka - čak 2,5 tisuća ljudi po km 2 . Većina majkopijanaca ispovijeda pravoslavlje, ali ovdje ima i mnogo sunitskih muslimana.

Povijest grada kao dijela Rusije datira iz 1870. godine. Tada Maykop postaje županija kubanskog kraja. Godine 1878. u njemu se pojavio status grada. Otvaraju se škole i fakulteti, gdje lokalna djeca počinju učiti ruski. Godine 1918. grad su zarobili bijeli Kubanci, koji su se opirali sovjetskoj vlasti. Tijekom Velikog Domovinskog rata, od kolovoza 1942. do siječnja 1943., grad je bio pod okupacijom njemačkih vojnika.

Godine 1990. Autonomna regija Adygea pretvorena je u Republiku. Sud i Vrhovno vijeće RSFSR-a su grad stekli statusom povijesnog naselja, ali ga je 2010. izgubio.

Uprava Republike Adygea

Šef regije je Kumpilov Murat Karalbievich. Guverner Maykopa - Andrei Getmanov. Republika ima svoj parlament, izvršnu upravu i pravosudni sustav. Postoje statutarni i okružni sudovi Republike Adygea.

Čelnik Adygee se zove predsjednik. Svi visoki dužnosnici ruskih republika imaju taj status. Kumpilov, predsjednik Adygee, također je na čelu najvišeg izvršnog tijela regije - Vlade. Predsjednik obavlja svoje dužnosti 5 godina, nakon čega podnosi ostavku. Položaj šefa regije nije izborni. Isti Kumpilov imenovao je Državno vijeće Adygea - Khase.

Državno vijeće, ili Khase, kako ga nazivaju u Adygei, zakonodavno je tijelo u republici. Ovo je jednodomno predstavničko tijelo. Adygei u njemu čine 49% ukupnog sastava zastupnika. Predsjednik za danas je Vladimir Ivanovič Narozhny. Postoje reprezentativni primjeri Khasea u svakom okrugu Republike Adygea.

Zakonodavno tijelo sastoji se od nekoliko odbora: o zakonodavstvu, agrarnom sektoru, proračunu, ekologiji, kulturi itd. Od 50 zastupnika, 40 su članovi stranke Ujedinjena Rusija.

Kabinet ministara i Uprava dio su sustava izvršne vlasti u Adygeji. Premijer od 2018. je Alexander Vladimirovich Narolin. Zadužen je za Ministarstvo zdravlja, Ministarstvo kulture, Saveznu službu za nadzor prirode u Republici Adygei i druga izvršna tijela.

Regija ima svoj vlastiti ustav. Navodi se da pravdu provode ustavni (zakonski), savezni i svjetski sudovi. Republika Adygea formira pravosudni sustav na temelju saveznih načela i normi.

Osvrćući se na opća obilježja regije, treba se osvrnuti na glavne atrakcije Adygee: njene prirodne spomenike, povijesne i kulturne vrijednosti i razne predmete koji mogu biti zanimljivi turistima.

Znamenitosti Adygee: rijeke i slapovi

Republika Adygea je poznata po svojim slikovitim slapovima. Većina njih su pritoke rijeke Rufabgo. Možete pogledati fascinantne poglede u Kamennostokskom - selu Republike Adygea, odakle počinje većina turističkih ruta. Slapove možete vidjeti na naplatnom mostu iznad korita rijeke Belaya.

Srce Rufabga je kanjon Khadzhokhskaya - vijugavi stjenoviti kanjon, dubine 40 metara i duljine pola kilometra. Ljudi su nazvali klisuru "Buka" - možda zbog činjenice da Bijela rijeka koja teče ispod stvara snažan urlik.

Drugi najljepši kanjon je Granitska klisura. To je niz od 4 km dug i 200 metara dubok. Zidovi samog kanjona oslikani su svijetlo crvenom bojom. To je jedinstveni prirodni fenomen povezan s pigmentacijom kamena.

Kanjon rijeke Meshoko ima izuzetnu ljepotu. Vodopad, smješten među visokim liticama i planinskim lancima, čini prekrasan kanjon. Mještani nazivaju Meshoko "komad Sjeverne Amerike" u Adygei.

jedinstvena spomenik prirode Amonitska dolina još se nalazi na obalama rijeke Belaya. U dolini možete pogledati u prošlost - što je starije moguće. Amoniti raštrkani duž obala rijeka superedni su izumrlih beskralješnjaka. Oni spadaju u klasu glavonožaca. U Adygei postoji nevjerojatna količina takvih mekušaca. Većina njih je veličine ljudske glave, što olakšava pogled na fosile.

Rijeka Dah je mjesto koje svakako vrijedi posjetiti u jesenskom razdoblju. U ovom trenutku ovdje je posebno lijepa: plava rijeka teče između jarko obojenih obojenih obala. Dolinu Dahu zamjenjuju blagi šumski obronci i strme obale.

Svakako posjetite ušće rijeka Belaya i Dakha. Najčišća Belaya je zamagljena prljavim vodama druge rijeke. Prema legendi, jednostavna djevojka Bella odbila je princu Dakhu obostranu ljubav. Ogorčeni princ je uzeo djevojku zatvorenicu. Kad je Dakho ponovno tražio odgovor, Bella mu je zabila nož u srce. Od tada, čista rijeka Belaya bila je ugrožena prljavim vodama Dahe.

Planine i spilje

Adygea je poznata po svojim planinskim padinama, visokim grebenima i prolazima. Na granici Krasnodarskog teritorija i Republike Adygea nalazi se ogromno Lagonaki gorje. Područje Lago-Naki je 800 km 2 . U antici su trgovački putovi prolazili kroz planinsku visoravan koja je povezivala Sjeverni Kavkaz i regije u blizini Crnog mora. Plato Lagonaki vrijedi posjetiti u proljeće. Flora lokalnih livada gotovo se ne razlikuje od alpskog. Lago-Nako je apsolutno nevjerojatno mjesto jedinstvene prirode.

Najviša točka Lago-Naco je mountain fisht Visoka 2,6 km. U bezobličnom vremenu, planina se može vidjeti iz Krasnodara, Sočija, pa čak i brojnih istočno-kavkaskih gradova. U blizini Fishta nalazi se snježno-bijela planina Oshten. Apsolutno zapanjujući pogled na njega otvara se u čistom ljetu. Svijetlo zelene livade prelaze u snježno-bijele litice, a zatim u plavo nebo. U podnožju planina može ponekad padati snijeg. To se događa čak i po vrućem vremenu.

Druga planina nalazi se na sjeveru sela Khamyshki. Zove se Monk. U starim vremenima redovnici su živjeli u Khamyshekovim špiljama. Sama planina ima vrlo neobičan oblik - kao da ju je netko prepolovio.

Glavna atrakcija Adygee je kameni Devil prst. Do njega možete doći preko Dakhovsky Bridgea. Đavolji prst sastoji se od dva velika stijena smještena blizu jedno drugome. U proljeće je planina obrasla divljim češnjakom, zbog čega su svi krugovi ispunjeni vrlo osebujnim mirisom.

Brojne špilje glavna su atrakcija Republike Adygea. Fotografija je velika Azijska špilja nalazi se ispod.

U Adygei postoje dvije popularne špilje za turiste: Big Azish i Small Azish. Oba objekta nalaze se na granici Krasnodar i Adygea. Nalaze se u okrugu Abšeron u južnom dijelu planinskog lanca Azish-Tau. Obje pećine su stalaktiti, duljina galerija je do 40 metara.

Uz azijske podzemne objekte nalazi se špilja nježna. Njegova duljina je gotovo 100 metara. Doba blagog gotovo 2,5 milijuna godina. Špilja je prilično mlada, a stalaktiti u njoj još su mladi. Zbog toga je objekt dobio i ime.

Prirodni rezervati

Dva znamenita objekta svakako treba posjetiti svaki turista u Adygei. Kavkaski državni rezervat biosfere prostire se duž sjevero-južnih padina zapadnog Kavkaza. To je jedinstveni prirodni objekt koji zauzima zemlje Krasnodara, Republike Adygea i Karachay-Cherkessia. U susjedstvu republike Abhazije.

Rezervat biosfere Kavkaza smatra se drugim po veličini u Europi. U 19. stoljeću ovdje je bio popularan Kubanski lov, ali su sovjetske vlasti počele štititi prirodu teritorija. Do sada je zabranjen ribolov, lov i skupljanje bilja.

Flora rezervata je zaista nevjerojatna. Postoji oko 3 tisuće različitih vrsta cvijeća, drveća i grmlja. Svaka peta biljka je relikt, to jest živo svjedočanstvo prošlih stoljeća. Pronalaženje nečeg sličnog na drugim mjestima nije moguće. Gljive u rezervatu su također dosta - oko 2 tisuće vrsta.

Fauna Zapadnog Kavkaza je izuzetno opsežna. Postoji oko 248 vrsta ptica, mnogi sisavci, ribe, mekušci i insekti. U rezervatu se nalaze jeleni, srne, medvjedi, bizoni, divlje svinje i druge životinje.

Najpopularniji objekt rezervata je Khostinskaya tisa-boxwood grove. Ima oko 400 vrsta biljaka. Njegova glavna atrakcija je poznata reliktna šuma - pravi spomenik preglacijalnog razdoblja.

Ako veliki kavkaski rezervat može uplašiti turiste po svojoj ljestvici, onda treba obratiti pozornost na Bukreevski Dendrološki park. Na području parka zasađeno je mnogo različitih stabala, cvijeća i grmlja. Tu je zapanjujući breza, šumski park, mnogo lipe, razne vrste vrba i drugih biljnih objekata. Park Bukreeva nalazi se u četvrti Giaginsky.

Povijesni spomenici

U dolini rijeke Belaya, u blizini sela Kamennomostskog, nalazi se divovski kameni blok. Mještani ga zovu "kozački kamen". Što bi u njemu moglo biti zanimljivo? Prije mnogo stoljeća blok se odvojio od kamenog zida Una-Koza. To se dogodilo zbog različitih prirodnih čimbenika - potresa, vjetra, kiše i mraza. Kvrga je skliznula u dolinu rijeke Belaya, zbog čega još uvijek blokira put za putnike.

Čini se da u Kozačkom kamenu nema mnogo zanimljivosti. No, oko njega ima mnogo legendi! Vjeruje se da su kozaci Khajokh i Dakhov podijelili svoje zemlje točno na mjestu bloka. Kamen je dobio ime po tome što je lokalni kozački ataman odvukao svog konja do kamena, podigao ga i pozdravio inspekcijski pregled koji je stigao u Kuban.

Sljedeći zanimljivi spomenik je Dakhovsky bridge. Ovo je teška kamena konstrukcija koja se proteže preko rijeke Dah. Most je izgrađen u drugoj polovici 19. stoljeća od strane lokalnih Kozaka. Sama struktura izgleda neobično. Stil je sličan zapadnoeuropskom, zbog onoga što možda mislite da ste negdje u Skandinaviji.

Ljubitelji ruske antike bit će zainteresirani za Novosvobodnaya stanitsa. Ovo je pravi kulturni spomenik, svojevrsno ogledalo prošlosti. Među zanimljivim mjestima možete istaknuti planinu Bogatyrka, kapelu Aleksandra II i dolmene - najstarije grobove, izvorne kamene spomenike.

Samostani i hramovi

Crkveni ljudi i samo ljubitelji hodočasničkih putovanja bit će zainteresirani vidjeti hramove Adygee. Unatoč činjenici da je regija bila izvorno muslimanska, danas je u republici mnogo više pravoslavaca. Već u 19. stoljeću, kada je nastala republika Adygea (tada jednostavna provincija), ruske su vlasti provodile polu-nasilnu asimilaciju. Predložila je, uključujući stvaranje pravoslavnih crkava i samostana.

Manastir Sv. Athos smatra se pravim središtem hodočašća. Nalazi se u selu Pobjeda - u središtu Republike Adygea, distrikt Maikop (južno od Maikopa).

Povijest samostana datira iz 1864. godine. Stanovnici većine kozačkih sela bili su vrlo siromašni i nisu mogli priuštiti ni izgradnju hrama. Zahvaljujući naporima Stavropolske biskupije i donacijama iz drugih krajeva regije Maikop, podignuta je crkva oko koje je organiziran samostan. Pod sovjetskom vlašću, katedrala Uznesenja, najvažnija zgrada samostana, dignuta je u zrak. Na njegovom mjestu nalazila se vojna bolnica, a potom i dječja kolonija. Oporavak se nastavio od 1992. do 2003. godine.

Samostan možete posjetiti ne samo za pravoslavne hodočasnike. To je vrlo ugodno i lijepo mjesto sa zanimljivom prirodom i arhitekturom, gdje se možete opustiti i uživati ​​u lokalnim pogledima.

Poznavatelji ljepote prirode trebali bi prošetati kroz naselje Hamyshki Maikop. Ovo je planinsko područje koje gleda na beskrajnu stepu. Hodočasnici bi trebali posjetiti Zakubansku crkvu sv. Mihovila - malu kamenu crkvu s zanimljivom arhitekturom.

Paleontološki spomenici

Vjerojatno nigdje u Rusiji ne možete pronaći toliko arheoloških nalazišta kao u Adygei. Širom regije raštrkali su se brojni dolmeni, spilje, grobovi i drevne građevine. Ne samo antropolozi s povjesničarima, nego i obični ljudi će biti zainteresirani da pogledaju spomenike prošlosti.

Khadzhokh dolmen se smatra jednim od najpoznatijih dolmena Adygea. To je tajanstvena struktura, informacije o kojoj se daje u muzeju "Putovanje prije 140 milijuna godina". Ovdje možete pronaći zbirke antičkih amonita, punjenih životinja antičkih i geoloških stijena. Nedaleko od Khadzhokh dolmen postoji još jedna izvanredna stvar - stablo s 14 debla.

Kad su ruski kozaci stigli samo u Adygeu, iznenadili su se obiljem malih kamenih građevina. Nesvjesni svrhe dolmena, Kozaci su im dali ime - "herojske kolibe" ili "kuće patuljaka", trakt kod Novosvobodne stanice nazvan je Bogatyrskaya proplanak. Ovdje se skuplja oko 50 različitih megalita - vrsta domaćeg Stouhengea.

Posljednje zanimljivo mjesto za arheologe je selo Ust-Sakhrai, smješteno na ušću rijeka Dakh i Sakhrai. Ovdje su prikupljene sve glavne atrakcije Adygea: slapovi, dolmeni, špilje i stijene. Datiranje grobnih humaka i dolmena u selu varira od 3 do 4 tisuće godina prije Krista.

Kampovi i turistički sadržaji

Planiranje putovanja u Adygeu treba biti vrlo oprezno. Vrijedno je zapamtiti da je ovo samo domaća regija s mnogo neugodnih čipova, karakterističnih samo za Rusiju. Potrebno je složiti se s mjestom gdje će se potrošiti prevladavajuće vrijeme. Dakle, najpogodnije područje za turiste je sama Maykop i okolno područje. Tahtamukaysky distrikt Republike Adygea je najsiromašniji na znamenitostima, kao i na svim susjednim područjima. Većina područja u Republici se ne razlikuje po nečemu neobičnom. To su jednostavni industrijski gradovi i sela.

Oni koji još nisu razumjeli teritorijalnu strukturu Republike mogu savjetovati Partizan i Yavorovaya Polyana. Nalaze se na ploči Lagonaki. Na oba mjesta sve je opremljeno posebno za kampiranje i turizam.

Guerrilla Glade nalazi se na 900 metara od podnožja kamenog mora. Mjesto je dobilo ime po kozačkoj bazi koja se ovdje nalazila tijekom građanskog rata. Gerilci su ovdje djelovali tijekom Velikog Domovinskog rata. Danas je proplanak strma padina na čijem se vrhu nalazi mala turistička baza.

Nedaleko od Partizanskaya nalazi se Yavorovaya Polyana. To je ogromna zelena padina koja se proteže duž Kamenog mora. Mještani ovdje prodaju med, jer cvjetnice su pravi izvor pčelara.
